scruncher

Fabric ponytail holder

A scruncher is someone or something that scrunches—squeezes, crumples, or compresses.

Most commonly, it refers to a fabric hair tie that gathers material into soft folds: She pulled her hair back with a scruncher.

This sense is a variant spelling of scrunchie.

The word also describes anyone who scrunches things: He's a scruncher—watch him destroy that paper cup.
